Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Carrying Out a Commercial Removal in Devon


Moving into a new office is an exciting milestone for any company. Whether you’re relocating to a more desirable location or moving into a bigger space to accommodate business growth, transitioning to a new workplace offers all sorts of opportunities for enterprises big and small.

Of course, carrying out a commercial removal is often easier said than done. Here at Rose Removals, we have extensive experience across all aspects of house and commercial removals in Exeter, Barnstaple, Crediton and the wider Devon region. Here are five mistakes to avoid to ensure your move goes as smoothly as possible:


1. Underestimating How Long it’s Going to Take


Perhaps the most critical mistake people make when moving office is underestimating how long it’s going to take. Rather than leaving things to the last minute, start planning your commercial removal in Devon far in advance (12 months or even longer for large businesses) to minimise stress.


2. Attempting an Office Removal Without a Plan


To maximise efficiency, it’s vital that you have a solid removal plan in place before you attempt to relocate your office. This might involve sketching out a rough plan of the interior of the new workspace, considering how you’re going to move fragile IT equipment and delegating certain tasks to managers to ensure the move goes off without a hitch.


3. Trying to do the Commercial Removal on Your Own


While it might seem as though moving office on your own is a good way to keep expenses down, in reality the convenience of hiring a professional removal company in Exmouth far outweighs the costs involved. An expert removal team will have the experience and equipment needed to help you relocate as efficiently as possible, allowing you to focus your energies on more important parts of the business.


4. Not Giving Employees Enough Warning


It’s worth keeping in mind that a commercial removal in Torquay isn’t just stressful for business owners - it can also be a headache for employees. To help keep team morale high, be sure to give your employees plenty of warning before moving office so that they have enough time to plan ahead and make arrangements for transport and parking if needed.


5. Forgetting to Update Contact Details


Last but not least, you’ll also need to put some time aside before your office relocation to send change of address notifications and update your contact details. It goes without saying that this will involve getting in touch with utility providers, but don’t forget to also update business cards, email signatures and the address on your website so that customers will still know where to find you.
